THE ARTFUL DoDGER.

It's all very well for Mr.. BLAINE to
declare that, not only is his visit to
Europe of no political significance, but
that he has no intention of turning over
his hand to forward his presidential
chances. Actions proverbially speak
louder than words, and Mr.. BLAINE'S
last action before sailing speaks for it
self in clarion tones.
Hon. JAMES q. has always protested
undying love and sympathy for the
down-trodden and oppressed people of
Ireland. The apparent truthfulness OF
his sympathy has gained him many
votes, for the Irish are warm-hearted
people and naturally appreciate interest
in their behalf. But with Mr.. BLAINE
it has been a question more OF votes
than of sincere sympathy, and he has
lately given evidence of that fact.
Recently there was rendered in New
York dinner to very distinguished
Irish patriot and gentleman, Editor
O'BRIEN. a committee was appointed
to invite Mr.. BLAINE to attend
the dinner, the ardently expressed
sympathy of that gentleman for
the Irish cause making it a very grace
full compliment on the part OF the man
ayers. Mr.. BLAINE, cogniZant of their
detention, successfully lodged them on
two occasions, and consequently was
not present at the dinner.
The tour of Editor O'BRIEN in this
country, you see, has brought down
upon him the condemnation of the land
lord class in this country as well as in
England. The landlord class is power
full. 1t casts and influences many votes,
almost as mady as the Irish-Americans.
This class Mr.. BLAINE could not afford
to offend by seeming to countenance the
Irish patriot, and consequently he made
it possible to escape attending the din
ner.
Is not the man from Maine an artful
dodger? More artful even than any
Dickens ever dreamed of, and much
more artful than the oracle from Ohio
who has not been able to discover that
his ''bloody shirt speeches are nauSe-
ating instead of interesting.

CAR LIGHTING.

Any one who inspected the vestibule
train which brought the Commercial
club, of Chicago and Boston, to st.
Paul could not fail to be impressed with
the fact that it is quite possible to light
railway trains by some other means
than the death-dealing kerosene lamps.
1t has been demonstrated by expert
ence that in railway accident a great
portion Of the mortality is due to fire,
and the, fire in many cases is due as
often to the bursting of the Oil lamps as
to the fatal car stove. In the train men
toned the lighting was done by means
of electricity with entire success. Stor-
age batteries, charged at the beginning
of the journey, were placed in each car
and the light thus obtained was safe,
brilliant and steady. If one train can
be lighted in this manner all can, ex-
cept perhaps .trans-continental trains,
and so far as the railroads running
through Minnesota are concerned it
might be well for the state railroad
commissioners to require the various
companies to show cause why they
should not be compelled to adopt the
new and safe mode of lighting.
The car stove and the oil lamp both
should go, but if both cannot be gotten
rid of at once it will be something gain
ed to have the dangerous lamps out of
the way.
